Yes, I always get my drug overdose celebrity death news from the Wall Street Journal.
If you want a more celeb focussed approach, check out Pop Crunch.
It’s a tragic death that will be milked for the rest of the week on ET and happened in enough time to kick Britney off the cover of the weekend tabloids.
Facebook and blogs are covered with laments already. Personally, I think it’s Darwin at his finest.. drugs kill, mess with a bull and the horns will get you .. but that’s not my concern…
How did you find out about this news? Surfing on a website? Email alert? Facebook status update? Text message? Twitter? A friend told you? The radio?
Or will you read about it for the first time in a newspaper tomorrow.
This is a world where when news breaks, it breaks fast. I found out from a friend who just heard Sarah Bartok mention it on 95Crave. When I logged in to Twitter, it was all over the tweets.
So how did you find out? Did the internets win this war of breaking news, or did word of mouth get to you first?

Fair warning for those wanting to know more about him. Do NOT go to his Wikipedia page at this moment… definitely NSFW.
I heard it from Sarah Bartok as well - then i found myself caught up reading all the online tabloids. Then my being such a gossip queen - made sure everyone else new it from me!

I found out on a Facebook status update, just a couple of hours after they found his body. The autopsy today on Heath was inconclusive and will take about 10 days to complete the investigation. So far it has appeared to be an accidental drug overdose. Such a tragic loss for the film world, not to mention his poor daughter and family. Until the facts are released in a couple of weeks, I’m dreading all of the crap the media has to spread all over about him. Regardless of how it all happened and why, a young and very talented man is dead.
